In Episode 8 of The Freedom Chapter, we recount our unforgettable week sailing through Croatia’s breathtaking coastline. From running into Monika in Zagreb to meeting Ashleigh’s parents in Split, the adventure kicked off with incredible food—including the must-try Misto Street Food burger—before setting sail on the Adriatic.

We share the ups and downs of our journey, like almost getting left behind in Makarska and battling a fierce lightning storm. The sea brought its challenges, including some sea sickness, but also unforgettable moments like buggy driving in Korčula, drinks at the turret-top Massimo bar, and Hvar’s crystal-clear waters.

Hear our favorite highlights, from Croatian street food to nonstop meals onboard, as well as the ease of having a guided trip. Up next? Italy, France, and parting ways with family—again.
